What ya never heard of the Batista Cigaro GT238?

Heheh... heck what do I know? maybe that's what they call Ladas on Cuba? :P
 
Looks English. AND from this angle it looks like the left headlights had all run out, so he fitted a right headlight on upside-down.
 
Mhh from just looking at size/wheelbase it might've possibly shared the same platform as the MG Midget/Austen Healy Sprite?

If it's even English :D It's probably Portugese or something :P
 
It is definitely english... i will get back to you on the wheelbase stuff but i dont think it does... Yeah i have found nothing that suggests any connections...
 
hell, this is unfair, I have a book where that thing is shown, but the effin book is packed in a box somewhere. :grumpy:
a vage guess: a Triumph

Cano
 
Berkeley?

I don't recognise those lamp covers but the rest seems familar.

Some Berkeleys had 3 wheels, some 4 and they were tiny. Powered by 300 to 500cc motorcycle engines.

:confused:
 
Not a Trumpet, badge of Triumph isn't round. No a MG either, as then it would more then likely be a sister car of the Midget.

looks like a low volume car to me, and looking closer it looks actually smaller still then a Midget... Mhhh Not a Mini based kit car I hope?
 
911 may be on the right track... This particular model has 3 cyl, with the largest displacement this maker ever used, and was once a racing model... It also has non stock head lamps (they are larger than usual) becuase it was once a racing model. The car maker also has affiliation with a certain Laurie Bond...

Here is a pic of the same car with stock lamps... Sorry about the bad quality but its harder than you think to find a good picture of this car... Since we know that this car has a large displacement i would like the specific car model name...

I found pictures, but can I find the model name? Course not. This should help though

EDIT: Bingo. It's a Berkeley Foursome (although that side shot I posted above is apparantly a Twosome). So there you go.
 
Its not the foursome... It is infact a twosome or a se492(492 for its displacement) often called a b90 today...

The foursome is much uglier and larger and ofcourse has fourseats... If you look at the pics i provided they have only two seats...
 
the foursome is pictured in the first pic roo posted... the second is the se492/b90/twosome... The extra wheel int he rear and the huge hole in the chassis for people to sit in make it uglier... imo
 
If it is, then someone else better have it because I'm away all weekend and won't be able to post anything.
 
I've got one ready so I'll post.

Especially as it was me who said Berkeley (well, I said "Berkeley?" - I wasn't sure)

This one is quite famous but maybe not from this angle.
